"Clearly, if you are going pick one match to come to this year this is it," head coach Matt Knoll said. "Oklahoma beat us twice last season and that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. I think they do a great job with their guys and I feel like our guys are going to compete well and it will just be a great tennis match."

The Bears (15-4, 1-0) have won their last five matches with three of those wins coming over ranked teams. On Sunday, Baylor picked up a win in its first Big 12 match of the season, cruising past No. 38 Texas Tech, 6-1, in Lubbock, Texas. This season, BU is 11-2 at home and holds a 7-4 mark against nationally-ranked foes.

Pradella enters the match against the Sooners riding a six-match win streak with four of those six wins playing in the No. 1 spot. That string of wins is second only to Lupieri's seven-match win streak. Pradella is 15-3 in dual-match play, while Lupieri a 14-3 record.

The Sooners (15-5, 2-0), who were picked to win the league in 2013, are currently on a four-match win streak, including a 7-0 sweep of conference opponent TCU in their last match out.

Baylor currently leads in the all-time series with Oklahoma 18-17 including a 17-4 record against the Sooners in the Matt Knoll era. Oklahoma topped Baylor twice last year in route to a Big 12 regular season and tournament Championship.

For the match there is free admission, plus free popcorn to the first 250 fans in the stands. Live scoring, a live blog and live video of the match will be available on BaylorBears.com.

Following Friday's contest, Baylor will welcome Oklahoma State to the Hurd Tennis Center for a match at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
